FactoryTwin® & Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) Announce Strategic Partnership to Support the Maritime Industrial Base

Hopkins, MN & East Hartford, CT — Dec 2025 — FactoryTwin®, a leading provider of AI-driven factory intelligence and digital twin solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) to support the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) Program and advance federal and state manufacturing initiatives across Connecticut and the Northeast.

The Maritime Industrial Base Program is a U.S. Department of Defense initiative focused on strengthening and modernizing the domestic industrial base that supports naval and maritime systems. The program emphasizes supply chain resilience, workforce development, operational modernization, and the long-term sustainability of small and medium manufacturers critical to national defense.

Through this partnership, FactoryTwin and CCAT will jointly support MIB objectives by enabling manufacturers to adopt advanced digital technologies that improve visibility, planning, and execution across factory operations.

This collaboration combines FactoryTwin’s AI-powered factory intelligence and digital twin platform with CCAT’s deep expertise in digital transformation, digital thread, and advanced manufacturing enablement, creating a powerful ecosystem to accelerate measurable operational improvements for maritime, defense, and aerospace manufacturers.

FactoryTwin’s platform is already trusted by dozens of leading defense and aerospace small and medium manufacturers to drive profitable and scalable growth. The solution enables data-driven decision-making across production planning, scheduling, capacity analysis, and operational execution, helping manufacturers transition from reactive operations to intelligent, predictive factory management.

CCAT brings decades of experience supporting manufacturers through applied innovation, workforce development, and technology adoption, making it a key partner in advancing MIB priorities and strengthening the Northeast manufacturing ecosystem.

FactoryTwin extends its sincere thanks to Amy Thompson and the entire CCAT team for hosting discussions and helping formalize this strategic collaboration.

Together, FactoryTwin and CCAT aim to support the next wave of innovation within the Maritime Industrial Base, helping manufacturers modernize operations, strengthen supply chains, and remain competitive in support of national defense and economic growth.
